"No Plan" Meal Plan- Week 7!

Woo! Ginny and I are giving you the weekend OFF with this meal plan! NO PREP REQUIRED!! :D LOVE that!!

Plus- I hear the Aztec Chicken is THE BOMB. I can't WAIT to make it!

Here's the way it works.

1. No more than 20 ingredients ever. I like simple things, and if a recipe has more than 7 ingredients, I am not gonna make it. I think you are all like me, and like simple, budget friendly dinners, so here they are.

2. 5 dinner recipes, ready to go. Does your family have Pizza Fridays? Or do you always go out to eat on Wednesdays? Cool! 5 dinners allows for flexability, and since they aren't assigned to days, you can always eat what you WANT, not what you wrote down 2 weeks ago :D

3. 4 cook time options. Have to go to basketball practice at 6? No problem! There are dinner options for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour and all day with the crock pot.

4. 3 healthy food groups. Nutrition is important, and so is eating a balanced meal. All of our dinner recipes will include a Protein, a Vegetable and a Grain. Simple nutrition for you and your family.

5. 2 servings. I am a family of 2, so I don't need more than 2 servings. You have a family of 4? Cool bro- double it. Serving 8? Do the math :D Having the recipes serve 2 allows for easy modification for whatever you need :D

6. Just one easy prep time. The days of slaving away in the kitchen for hours a night are OVER! Once a week you will spend about an hour, maybe less prepping for the week. The prep guide is ON the menu plan, so it literally is EASY PEASY.

Just a few more notes:

Don't like chicken? Me either. There are substitutions listed for most recipes. :D

Don't like ____? Me either (kidding, I like ___) The optional ingredients are listed. Adjust accordingly :D

Each meal plan will be posted on Thursday, give you Friday and the weekend for shopping and prep.

Each week you only have to print out ONE THING! It's all there on the one sheet of paper. You are welcome :D

Think your recipe for ____ is awesome and want it to be featured? Submit it here!

Without further ado: This week's menu plan! (Click on the pic below for it to show up :D)

Time for the legal mumbo jumbo. I am not a doctor, nor do I pretend to be. I am not a personal trainer, or a nutritionist, and neither are any of the people who guest post or comment on my blog (unless they specify differently). Nothing on this blog, or it's subsidiary Facebook groups should be taken as medical advise, and I am not liable for anything you do while listening to me :D Consult your physician before you engage in any new heath and fitness plan, just like I did.
